“Warning! This is not from Telenor, but from scammers who want info or install skadevare. Delete it or report as spam,” writes telegiganten in a Twitter message that an example of one of the fake emails is attached.
The fake invoices are very professionally made and looks to be from Telenor. The sender is epost@telnor.no but several places in the emails, there are links to teleselskapets own web pages.
Earlier this year, Telenor has warned that computer criminals are increasingly proffere. It is expected that the professionalisation and the number of computer attacks will increase in 2017.
In 2016, we saw an increased professionalisation of organized cybercrime, and the sale of advanced skadevare on a grey/black market has been to milliardbutikk, said sikkerhetsdirektør Hanne Tangen Nilsen in Telenor to the NTB in January.
ABC News is owned by the ABC Home page A/S which Telenor is a majority owner.
Many people have received this email on Tuesday. It is a so-called phishing e-mail and do not come from Telenor, the company itself warns about. Photo: Screenshot / NTB scanpix
